About Kabua Morea

Full Name: Kabua Vagi Morea Date of Birth: September 30, 1993 Place of Birth: Papua New Guinea Role: Left-arm Medium-Fast Bowler | Left-handed Lower-order Batsman Kabua Morea isn’t the loudest figure on the field, but when the ball is in his hand, he lets his skill speak volumes. As one of Papua New Guinea’s most consistent seam bowlers in recent years, Morea has quietly built a reputation for delivering breakthroughs when it matters most—often with a calm face and deadly precision. Born and raised in PNG, Morea’s path to the national side wasn’t flashy. He didn’t rise through the ranks with hype or fanfare. Instead, he earned his place the hard way—through discipline, control, and a deep understanding of his craft. A natural left-arm pacer, he brings variation, bounce, and swing, especially in helpful conditions. He made his international debut in 2021, just before PNG’s campaign in the ICC T20 World Cup. Although the team struggled on the big stage, Morea stood out with his temperament and composure. His breakthrough came in ICC World Cup League 2, where he took a stunning 5-wicket haul (5/28) against Oman—the best-ever ODI bowling figures by a PNG bowler to date. That performance didn’t just turn heads—it stamped Morea as PNG’s new pace spearhead. He’s often the unsung hero in matches, bowling tight spells in the middle overs or closing out death overs with subtle slower balls. His left-arm angle offers much-needed variety, and his accuracy under pressure is what the team leans on. Off the field, Kabua is quiet, thoughtful, and deeply humble. He rarely seeks the limelight but is passionate about using cricket to unite communities. He supports youth cricket programs and encourages young pacers in rural PNG to believe that even soft-spoken players can become fierce competitors. In every spell he bowls, Kabua Morea reminds us that impact doesn't always need volume—it just needs heart, consistency, and quiet brilliance.
